LIB reader's father beats her, leaves her with injuries (see photos)

How do you keep hitting a 19 year old? Isn't that already an adult? I just got this email from a LIB reader named Leah who said she's 19. She said her dad is very abusive towards her and her mum...has always been. She said he beat her up this morning because she gave meat to their dog.
Hi Linda, I'm sending you this message in tears. I feel so miserable right now. My life is like a mess. My dad been mistreating me and my mum since I was born" she wrote. See more photos after the cut...

This is so unfortunate I hope parents will learn from the story of the guy that killed his father @ d redemption camp.No matter what happens parents should not try to hit a youth,would he lift his hand on her if she were a boy?my 19yr old brother singlehandedly carried my dad to d hospital (on his hand oooo)I can't imagine dad trying to raise his hand on him.I just hope our parent will learn from other people experiences and instead of hitting,slapping and abuse will resort to prayer and gentle words of advice.

It's bad but we've to hear from ur dad also b4 we pass judgement!

Eeehya. Sweetie, if u reading d's now, jes know that ur parents love you so much n are bound to correct you wen u go wrong just that dey do it d wrong way. It hurts I know, when u feel better, walk up to dem and with no disrespect, show him ur body, im sure he has conscience to see n feel bad about what he did to his baby girl. Plead with him to use another measure to correct you and not hit u again.

Once again, sorry for what happened to you. Hugs. It's well

Sweet heart u r not alone, my dad was very violent towards me till I was 24 and left home after youth service but the last time he beat me was 2yrs ago when I went home to visit and he beat my mother(who is a grand ma) and I protected her he beat us both and chased us out at night naked. I confronted him last month and his reply is that he would lay a serious curse on me. My dad beat me blue black spilling blood all the time. He used to kick me match on my stomach and I wonder how I survived in that house. Right now I have made a decision to cut of from him cos he is toxic. Pls dear work hard finish studies get. Job and get out of that house that is the only answer so that u won't need his financial assistance. Despite the fact my dad was a pilot I worked as a waitress in a restaurant just to earn my own money and be financially independent. And it is so unfortunate that we are in Africa where they feel that your parents are your god and you have no right to oppose or question their actions. Sorry for the injuries dearie. *hugs*

Both my parents were highly abusive towards me. My mother was a narcissist and very emotionally abusive towards me called me ugly on a daily basis since I was about 7yrs starved me and kept malice with me for years in the home I wld greet her in the morning she won't respond she won't utter a word.to me in the same house for years. I was a confused child very miserable always sad, and my dad highly violent. we suffered growing up in that hell of a home at least your mom is there for you. We were terrorized by my father's extreme temper that beatings with plate, chair even cutlass was the order of the day. We cldnt wait to be independent so that we can have peace of mind. If you see my body I have lots of scars. God saved us that he didn't kill any of us by mistake. My child hood was terrible and I don't wish my enemy to go through what I went through. Many parents are not capable and many children go through a lot. My dad is getting old and he is realizing his mistakes but my mother has extended it to our marital home almost breaking our homes with her wickedness that we, all her kids decided to cut her off. I believe she is psychopath and needs help. So poster take heart and defend your self or leave the vicinity when your father is angry because it may save your life. God wld be your strength dear. Also I advise you to read beauty for ashes by Joyce meyer it helped me to overcome depression caused by my parents.

C'mmon! It's awful pls, in this jet age?

Unknown said...

I cannot remember the last time my dad laid his hands on me. I was probably in primary school or something and I must have messed up big time for him to do that. He says once a child is 18 he/she is grown. His mode of correction is always advice and in rare occasions grounding. This is wrong I must say.

You and your mom need to leave that environment fast. Contact Project Alert they assist with cases of domestic violence.

Are you saying your father cannot correct you. Just try and do it right. No sensible father will be beating his daughter without cause.

Anonymous said...

Sure, at 19 years, she's an adult but I dare say that if she were in a higher institution at that age she definitely wouldn't be at home to get beaten up by the father. If she were at work, she wouldn't have been beaten up. She is free to feed meat to the dogs if only the money comes from her purse. If she acted her age, she certainly won't get beaten by her father.

Dont judge the book by its cover, ur father just started maltreating u and ur mother just like that ..u and ur mother should ask ur sef a question, which is, are we living a good life.....

This is nobody's business ooo... Its btw u and ur father and mother . You gave dog meat andhe started beating u? Does that make sense ? Was It boiled meat or raw meat ? Pls hun @ 19 painting ur own father black won't help ur life in anyway. Its a family issue yall need to sort out . Ask ur mother why he is hostile towards yall? Did ur mum do something wrong in d past ? Your answer lies @ home not on LIB.

sorry dear, take heart, i once went through same while growing up till 2009. If i was wise the way i am now, i would have sued my parents cos i saw hell which could termed as child abuse cos it was more than discipline. It's just one of those things these our old parents do especially when they are not exposed. Let it be you were not too much of a fault sha o cos we should also be truthful in whatever we do

Did u notice the girl's knuckles? Her face? She's using bleaching/toning cream at 19! Years back a female child dares not fix artificial nails at that age, pple didn't see that and they are running their mouth, blaming the girl's father, some children can make u offend GOD if u are not careful. Yoruba proverb says suffering does not kill, it is misbehaviour that does. Pple shd becareful how they are quick to judge

Well for starters, stories like this should always be taken with caution. This only portrays her own side of the unverified claims and stories. While her father has the right to beat her black and blue for terrible excesses, I don't believe her story surrounding this particular incident. Because, except the man is more than a beast or a pathetic jealous lover, it just doesn't tally at any level based on the wounds presented. Girl, talk true, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

Unknown said...

3 gbosa for u jare on dis comment

Me said...

Why won't they mistreat you when a nineteen year old has long nails like that of a vulture. Probably, you want to grow more than your age and they on their side has sworn not to let such happen in their home. How do you help your mum at home with those long painted nails? If you want them to stop, let the change come from you cos parents can't just mistreat their child for nothing.

Steady said...

The girl is not even fine

Segun said...

audi altarem patem (hear the other side)... I think we should hear from the father first...cant just jump into a conclusion, else we will be giving a lopsided judgment...Some people really push their fellas to the extreme...like take for example, a father caught his son having sex with his girlfriend on his bed. Such a father deserve to inflict much more injury on that son, if he doesnt even disown him...so, lets get the full gist...that said, bodily harm like this is not good

Anonymous said...

The good part of your skin dint show this is a chronic beating,so you must have wronged them to do this,Guess they are taking care of your wounds now.Next time listen to them,and many of those sending this comment had once or twice been a victim of this type of punishment before, so it's not new.Pele,be a good girl next time.

Only Oh. You won't type one of those stupid and senseless comments you make? Or should I scroll down and find your them as I have noticed how indecisive you can be on issues. Don't you have a job? Seriously? Asides being on LIB commenting dust, what do you do for food?

And don't worry, I know you'll go under anonymous and cuss me out, pretending to be someone who supports the royal slave brand. Like I mentioned in one of those episodes, do whatever makes you feel people actually care about you if it makes you feel better about yourself. Self deceit ain't bliss.

Apart from your abusive father, Your mother who allowed you witness her abuse and eventually become a victim also failed you as a parent. Since your father has a history of violence, she should have protected you from him. Just focus and work towards your independence. Be strong and good luck.
